Hope you all can help me. I have a heat pump system (heat/ac) and everything is out, there's no display on the thermostat, the main breaker is not tripped. Its a Carrier system. I did have someone out about a week ago who told me to pull the fuses, right first, then left, did that but still doesn't work. Any help would be great thanks.

Batteries are fine, its a relativly new system. Its been freezing up because of constant running from the extremely hot and humid weather. I had a guy in last week who got it running right away, told me to pull the fuses and put them back....however, I'm not so sure this guy was on the up and up, he also said I need a new motor assy & module, told me I had to keep my ac on as low as it would go to keep the motor running all the time, well its a week later and its been cycling so thats not the problem, but froze up again today, water everywhere, I shut the ac down and then when I lost the display, no power to heat pump system at all, not tripped on main breaker and pulled the fuses at the unit itself. Any other help would be great.
Thanks.

if he said its both, he is probly gessing thats the problem. those are verry expensive parts. might not be the problem at all. the blower is adjustable for cfm. might be set to low. i would get another opinion on your problem. at any rate are you setting the tstat below 70 and then gowing down that low befor iceing up?

Yes he said that was the problem and he was quick, this was a midnight fix it guy I wasn't too happy to call but all I could get in the evening hours. He quoted me $Pricing Rules for the job, told me to keep the ac as low as we could stand it so it wouldn't cycle off, he said that was where the problem was, the motor assy. Well its been cycling on and off for the past week and we do keep the ac low and its extremely humid out so we've been running the damn thing like crazy. He did fix it quick and I want to know how he did that, I'm sure I can do and we can get some comfort tonite. Here's the Carrier model #FVANF003 if this helps. Thanks to all.
